I would agree that the Lowther is not hard to beat but the question is where and in whose mind does this competition exist? Is the Lowther, Manger, or other full range single driver in competition with different multi-driver approaches, other single ...

Romy,
Funny stuff... especially the the AN piece. Equally surprised octopodes ? Brilliant !
As for the Bruce Edgar post ? Not as funny. And it's off base.
The Titan II system has a straight axis upper bass horn instead of a folded upper bas...

I actually read the review carefully.
My initials sentiments were very accurate. Knowing the Vladimir’s reaction to those thighs I might presume that he also feels that this level of “intelligent writing about audio” is no more intellectu...

I do not know whether it is allowed to post contact details of commercial entities (especially when they can be so easily found) but the company in question, Rixrax, is very easy to find:

A lot to digest here, Romy. I think the problem for
Wilson, and most other “high-end manufacturers”, for that matter, is that they
have to sell them, and they are looking for something that makes their brand “stand
out”. And who’s impressed? T...

All thinking about ULF are usually centered on 3 subjects:
drivers, topology and amplification. Even though these 3 subsets very much intertwined
I still would like to talk about it separately. We do presume that we have the proper
drivers for pro...

When we did a visit at Munich we are no negative audiophiles, we are curious and just wanted to know what is going on.

Gluttons for punishment, Mark and I went to the Newport
Beach audio thing-ee again this year. Generally, I was most struck by how much
lower audio expectations seemed to be, even lower than last year. It seemed
like it’s sunk to the poin...

It is very interesting to hear this idiot pontificate about

Joe, I think I would battle it.
I would not be so certain. Mostly the SUV sized bass horns are notoriously bad sounding despite of the assurances of the system owners overwhelmed with so common in audio endowment effect. Not to mention that the Stag...

I listened to exactly that combination for a longer time (Wilson Alexandria + ML3...) and the "review" (let's replace it with product placement) is the same joke than Harley with ML2.2 linked with the Magico Speakers (simply THE mismatch)....

First off, let me say Hello to all fellow Audiophiles!

Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...

About importance of impedance curve and current delivery of amplifier i agree you but generally we have some numbers (watt for spl) for average condition.
